eral quarters, not we'll founded, and
we did him injustice. Under the cir
cumstances he had no warrant of law
to act. We owe the Sheriff au apology
and here II is. But somebody is to
blame why proper warrants for the
arrest of all parties indicted by grand
juries for felonies are not placed in
the hands of the proper officer and
transmitted to his successor. We
know of several indictments on the
court docket of White Pine county
where the parties have for several
years lived in an adjoining county,
open and above beard, and no effort
has been made to bring them to JUS
tice. This is what we call "Brining
the Law into Contempt and while
the Sheriff may have done his duty,
there has been II big screw loose some

We have always thought that an in

dicted for crime in White Pine-the
O'Neils and Wilmington = brazen-
facedly defy arrest by coming and go
ing through the county and even con.
versing with the officers of the law,
and then walking off about their bust
ness. We were asked when those in
dictments were brought in not to pub

we have kept the secret. but when we
see the mockery of justice that is made
of the business we renounce our
VOW of secrecy and will never again
uphold or countenance scnre-crow"
indictments. We would not have done
so in these cases had our credulity
not been imposed upon. The whole
business is a travesty on law and JUS

Oats are said by scientist who h 10
brought his battery to bear on horse.
to have An exciting power. The effects
on the nerves and muscles were tested
after eating oats and compared with
their excitability before eating. Old
horscmen know that oats will make u
horse more lively or active than any
other grain. They contain nerve and
muscle food. or the elements to supply
the wear and waste Of these parts.
and no doubt they stimulate them also.
They contain. according to this author
ity nitrogcnizcd substance peculiar
to themselves. All oats contain this
peculiar property. but the black
oats have the most when
oats are ground tho exciting effect is
reduced in strength and duration. but
its effects are more active. This
peculiar substance is called aveninc.
The soil where oats arc grown makes n
difference in tho amount Of avcninc
produced. Farther investigation must
he made to determine the kind Of soil
best adapted to produce the nervo
power Of tho oats. This is getting
farming down to a fine point Here is
an opening for the jockeys. II they
had the secret and could select their
oats. how they might skip by the other
fellows who thought one oat was as

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL
Tho Tobacco Crop.

News concerning the tobacco crop IS
of interest to some of our readers A
Cincinnati paper refers to the expccta-
ton Of limited crop on account OF the
drought and the supposed curtai'ment
of acreage. ltsays that dealers in leaf
tobacco have taken advantage Of this
situation. and have readily been able
to work up . boom" in values Of the
old stock. which has mostly left the
hands Of the growers In the July re-
port Of the Department Of Agriculture
there was an indicated reduction Of 17}
per cent. in the acreage this season COM
pared with last year-virginia being
reported At rs. kentucky 7& North
Carolina 80. Connecticut. Ohio and
Illinois IS. Missouri and West Vir-
ginia 30 Indiana 90. Tennessee. Wis.
consin and Massachusetts, IS. Arkan.
sas and Pennsylvania 80. Maryland
and New York 80. Tho estimates Of
area were undoubtedly based partly
on expected planting. which to more
or less extent was interfered with by
the unfavorably dry weather. so that
later reports of the department may
lie expected to show a smaller area
than originally indicated. In the
meantime men in the trade have pro-
mulgated estimates. cutting tho area
down to about half that Of last
year. Inasmuch rs these
exhibits have emanatcd from
parties interested. there is some mar
gin for inference that they are not
wholly impartial That large retluc-
ton has occurred Is evident and that
much of the crop has had serious
drawbacks from tho unfavOrableness
Of tie season is also quite true.
The later estimates and indications
in regard TO area in tobacco this season
have suggested SO much greater reduc-
ton than the first Of July information
Of the Department of Agriculture that
severe languages has been offered
through various public channels con-
corning the statisiician. under whose
supervision this official work is done.
1t is proper that any shortcomings in
the service Of the department should
be ovcrhaulcd and shown up but in
considerable. loose and cxtravagant talk,
evidently designed to promote the in
terest of parties Immediately concerned
in the effects Of an exaggerated view
of matters. is without reason and in

According to DR.. Berillon, the we'll.
known French specialist, the practice OF
sucking the thumbs ut night, to which so
many children are addicted, and Of which
1t is next to impossible to break them, caA
be put stop to by a single hypnotization,
accompanied, Of course, with the requisite
suggestion. The child never by any chance
returns to the habit again, though his
memory retains no trace Of the order or
prohibition which operates 90 powerfully
ON his will.
